Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

hi...
i have downloaded the tar.gz file of g77 fortran compiler. can someone tell me how to install it?
the reason was to get xfoil working...so if someone can help me with that too, that would be great.
Thanks

sorry for the delay.
i gave up on trying to put g77 on...so for xfoil, i put gfortran for my FC. it sorta worked but i think i changed too many things so im gonna install it again and see what happens. Ill let you know if it did.
THanks for your help. Ill keep what you said in mind.

well...i left xfoil for along while..but then decided i needed it.
SO i got as far as make xfoil using gfortran.(added the flag -ff2c so it is compatible with f77 code)..this is when it says this:../plotlib/libPltDP.a(ps_subs.o): In function `bitpat_':
ps_subs.f.text+0x78): undefined reference to `rshift_'
ps_subs.f.text+0xf9): undefined reference to `rshift_'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [xfoil] Error 1

### Uncomment for f77 compiler w/o AND() and RSHIFT/LSHIFT functions.
### This adds some functions to duplicate these using IAND and ISHFT
### which often appear in these offending fortran's libraries.
### The compilers that this has affected include:
### HPUX f77
### Absoft f77 on Linux

#OBJMISC = util-ops.o
